Hey everyone! I’m working on a project that uses H2 database and I’m wondering if there’s a built-in tool or interface to manage it easily. I’m looking for something that lets me do basic stuff like making tables, changing their structure, or adding new columns without having to write SQL commands all the time. Has anyone used something like this before? It would be super helpful to have a simple way to handle these database tasks. If you know of any good options or have experience with H2’s own tools, I’d love to hear about it! Thanks in advance for any tips or advice you can share.
yo zack, ive used h2 before. theres a desktop app called DbVisualizer thats pretty sweet for h2 management. its got a nice gui for table creation n stuff. not free but worth checkin out if u want something more robust than the built-in console
hey zack, tried h2 console? its a web tool included with h2 for basic db tasks without sql.
just curious, whys u using h2? any feature make it special? im wondering if other tools might suit your needs too?
For H2 database management, I’ve found DBeaver to be an excellent option. It’s a free, open-source universal database tool that supports H2 alongside many other databases. DBeaver offers a user-friendly interface for executing queries, creating tables, and modifying database structures without writing SQL directly. It also provides features like data export/import and schema comparison. While it’s more feature-rich than H2’s built-in console, it might have a slightly steeper learning curve. However, its versatility makes it a valuable tool for database administration across various projects.
